Had my pre-op yesterday and paperwork is submitted to insurance company !!! Now the waiting game begins....so anxious ! I start liquid diet on Monday but am trying a few shakes etc now to see how it will go. My BMI was 35.6 when I started this process and my insurance needs 2 co-morbids to qualify. My surgeon seems to think it should be ok and the insurance will accept my high cholesterol and mild sleep apnea as qualifiers but I am still anxious. Anyone else have BLUECROSS/BLUESHIELD ILL ? and experience the same ? and what is turnaround time on approval??

Ventura Co. Is SO beautiful!!! I start 2 weeks if pre-op diet on Oct. 28. How strange that I am giving up Halloween this year! What's really cool is that I am SO jazzed for this opportunity that I don't even care that I have to trade Halloween for this opportunity. I am SO doggone ready for this you just don't know!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
